How much does the 2021 Tesla Model Y cost?

Prices are up 2.98% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 2,277 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y a good car?

Yes — the 4.91/5 user rating points to very strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its electric nature, advanced technology, and fun driving dynamics, and many also highlight its eco-friendliness and performance.

That lines up well with the Model Y’s use case as a practical electric crossover with a roomy cabin, generous cargo space, and a long list of standard equipment. If you want an EV that blends everyday usability with strong driving appeal, this model year fits that brief well.

With 32.0% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2021 Tesla Model Y reliable?

Owners rate it 4.91/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to a vehicle that many drivers feel good about living with over time, especially because they describe it as dependable in daily use and appreciate its trouble-free electric nature. That kind of feedback matters if you want a used EV you can count on for regular commuting and family duty.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is less about the powertrain and more about finding a well-kept example with consistent maintenance and no hidden condition issues.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still prioritize a history report and confirm that the car’s condition matches the listing photos and description. Pay close attention to signs of prior damage, uneven panel fit, tire wear, and any interior wear that might suggest harder-than-average use.

Because so much of the Model Y’s experience depends on its tech and controls, make sure the touchscreen, driver-assistance functions, and cabin features all work as expected during your inspection.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Tesla Model Y?

This looks like a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting a deep bargain on every listing.

• Deal availability: 32.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,277 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.98% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 82.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $24,719, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Tesla Model Y's resale value?

The current average of $26,825 sits slightly above last year's $26,048.

That upward move suggests the market has held up reasonably well for this model year, which is a positive sign if you plan to sell later. A price trend like this can support resale value because it shows buyers are still willing to pay for the Model Y’s mix of range, practicality, and standard equipment.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.91/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2021 Tesla Model Y or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 32.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.98% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 4.91/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2021 Model Y is the right pick if you want a well-liked used EV with strong owner approval, broad market availability, and a price that still sits within a manageable range. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby model year may be worth comparing, but the 2021 remains a compelling choice when you want the balance of demand, satisfaction, and inventory depth.
